I almost posted this on the stupid questions thread but now im just confused, i successfully rooted my phone on the first try mainly because i keep hearing about this awesome lag-fix, anyways i can't seem to find an up to-date lag-fix, could somebody please link me to an up-to-date thread?
The "lag fix" of yesterday is now incorporated in the custom roms
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Lag-fix is incorporated in the custom roms you install no need to update anything
Sent from my Maybach S 4G
Like the previous guys said, most (if not all) of the custom ROMs come with it. You said you rooted but you didn't mention that you installed a custom ROM. You won't have voodoo lagfix (which is basically just converting a few of the partitions from the rfs file system to the ext4 fie system) if you only rooted.
There are quite a few custom ROMs around. If you don't want to go that route and prefer to keep it close to stock, you can grab on of the custom kernels in the Development thread and install one that has voodoo lagfix.
Let us know if you need help.

i've found a few lagfix apps to download on the market after i rooted my phone..... which one should i download?
1.galaxy m3 booster
2.voodoo toggle reboot
3.ryanza's oclf
4.tegrak lagfix
none of them.
get darkyys rom
my phone is so smooth and unbelievable fast. have a try!!!
what kind of answer is that?
you should pick a good rom as suggested, but along with a lagfux kernel. I use voodoo as it is the only one available on my phone and its great. head over to the forums for your specific device and ask there.

I would recommend using supercurios voodoo lagfix if you just look for a plain lagfix. Otherwise use one of the nany custom roms you can find in the rom section.
Good luck

Hmm, sounds like my answer isn't too bad.
I've got the same phone as the OP. My phone runs Darkyy's rom. Well, I actually even don't know, what a "lagfix" does, because there aren't any lags on my phone. So my conclusion was to suggest the OP, that he should get Darkyy's rom, too.
Sorry folks for offtopic...
So hdviggy, what about first reading, thinking, read again, think again and - if necessary - answering then?
At least my answer was some kind of constructive. I guess nobody could say this about yours...

None install super optimized kernel 4.6.8 or 4.7.2...or go for a new rom insanity 6.0 or 6.1..
Download rom manager from market and apply clockworkmod from app.flash through this
But READ how to flash and restore.
These are tweaks to improve the smoothness and performance of the phone

Nope wont download on the phone.
1st link starts but fails
2nd has about 100 redirects then stops and says too many redirects.
Please just post it at the normal places.
Or cant u juat attach it here?
Also.. How about listing what kernels should work instead waiting for people to smoke their phones.
Example... Does the stock 2.3.4 kernel that most people are on work? - i am going to say no because you say it requies Ext4 and 2.3.4 is not that right?
Ext 4 is really only used on AOSP correct? Cyanogen stuff
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
edit -
just d/l on a pc ok. - i really hate the way these phones dont download **** properly.
All stock roms are rfs voodoo fixes that and re formats to EXT4. cyanogenmod uses EXT4 and something else i think, i dunno im still pretty nooby
Would also second what kernels work for stock rooted GB eh09? IS there an voodoo kernel out yet? Didnt source just hit yesterday? If so you guys are blazin

we dont have a voodoo kernel yet and im not sure if our stock lernel supports the init'd yet but it should soon...and yes...source dropped for us!!!
if you guys have no init.d support yet thats fine, just push the following files manually
/system/bin
/system/lib
dont push the rest till you have what you need
but the other tweaks should still improve your phone
This is a waste of time posting this here. Needs to go on another forum.

Try reading what I said and maybe you'll understand.
Giventhatcm7 is the only thing this will work for i think you need to clearly state this in the title or the first line of the thread.
Unlessi read wrong this is for gingerbread and cm7 is the only rom/kernel to have the requirements he has layed out.
Also, how about adding the correct flashable zip to your first post for those who are not on a cm7 based gingerbread rom.
That way we dont have to fuk our devices by trying manual pishes that dont always work.
Just a suggestionas i would love to have this on the uscc stock 2.3.4 gingerbread since that is all thats available and it seems like the mez is dead on xda

Its not just for GB you need a kernel that supports init.d for onr of the tweaks the others will work no matter what
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I'm still wondering why you referred to yourself in third person.
which kernel?
is this kernel supported, and is this the proper file system... I believe I am running ext4 with cyanogen 7?
2.6.35.7-gf63f6d6
And when you say "clean out init.d", do you mean delete the files in /ext/init.d before applying these tweaks?
Thanks in advance

no need to wipe your init.d folder simply go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236779
and pick up the u.s.a.sv6 tweak its remade no need to worry about init.d folder

Why do people care about voodoo? It's not "coming" any time soon. The entire idea of voodoo lagfix is to convert the filesystem to ext4 which is faster than the stock format. That makes things run smoother, faster, etc. than stock. Now on gingerbread we have a completely different filesystem called MTD which is even better than ext4; thus if we ever got a voodoo lagfix kernel it would be downgrading our phones.
First of all I did search and found some info but it wasn't really helpful... I'm new to the Charge. I've had many android phones before and have never had problems rooting and flashing roms. I've searched and I've seen the instructions on how to root and they look like they're in another language. Does anyone have more clear instructions on how to root??? Any help, asap, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
we are in the same page buddy....

Hey Brandon, this thread gives a great description on how to root your charge. => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14692818
If you still have questions feel free to ask, and I'll try to answer them as best as i can.
Ok, so i got it rooted and just installed a de-bloated stock Rom. Its ok, but now question is, if i decide to install a gingerbread Rom or any other Rom such as gummycharged, can i just install like i did on my bolt or x in cwm or do i have to use this odin program? if i have to use odin, how do i go about installing that way? thanks in advance...

For most roms, like gummycharged fe 2.0 and gbe 2.0 you just need CWM. I'm sure the process is the same as your bolt but just to be clear: Place the rom's zip you want on the sd card, boot into CWM, wipe date, dalvik cache, and cache partition, and then install the rom from the sd card. =) There are also some roms that come as full-odins, where you flash the package through odin and it does the work for you. That being said, you shouldn't run into that many unless you are un-rooting your phone. Hope that made sense. let me know if it doesn't.
Sweet. Thanks alot dude. That's awesome to know. I don't really wanna get into messing with odin. I like being able to do everything from my phone and not having to hook up to the laptop.

LOL, I was just coming in here to ask that exact same question as the OP. The wording was almost verbatim what I was going to say. The majority of experience I have had with Android is with HTC phones. I have rooted a few tablets as well. The instructions for the charge root are super confusing compared to previous devices.
My big issue is with the terminology. Like what is EE4, EPF1? Are there certain kernels that only work with certain roms? How easy is it to completely pooch the phone if I click on the wrong button in Odin? Can I make a nandroid backup and swap roms on the fly using Rom Manager depending on my moods or is it more complex then other android phones?
I haven't checked out the posts yet in this thread but seeing as how at least one other person has been just as confused as me I'm wondering if someone out there that has experience with both Samsung and lets say HTC phones can make a simple guide that makes comparisons to other rooting processes. For people that arn't used to Samsung phones, these instructions can be very overwhelming and there doesn't seem to be a newbie thread out there that gives information on all the abbreviations used and what they mean.

EE4, EP1W, ect are OS build numbers. EE4 is the current official release Froyo build. EP1W is the latest leaked Gingerbread build we have. Those are pretty much the only two version you want to worry about right now. There are Froyo kernels and Gingerbread kernels. Any Froyo kernel will work with any Froyo ROM, and any GB kernel will work with any GB ROM.
Only mess with the PDA button in Odin and you'll be fine. Forget the Phone button even exists, because that's the button that can get you into trouble. You can use the PIT button as well if you have the charge.pit file, but it's not normally necessary, so only do that if you have a reason.
ROM Manager is useless with this phone. There are reports that there is a version of CWM from it that will work with the Charge, but it doesn't work nearly as well as the latest imnuts CWM. The orange CWM dated 8/17 will let you do nandroid backups...you just need to boot directly into it and do them from CWM itself and forget about ROM Manager.

kernels for all roms on the Charge are installed in CWM, as for GB kernels you can't go wrong with any of Imoseyons voodoo ones... radios don't necessarily need to be updated but I've noticed a big improvement with the latest EP1W modems, however the results vary on different phones I've seen

Dont use 2.4.0 it bootlooped my phone. (Made it keep going through the SAMSUNG screen and not boot up)
Download 2.3.4 instead it works fine.
EDIT: I'm talking about imoseyon's voodoo kernels - just google them
I was wondering if I'm rooted and still on stock but want to do a little tweaking, can I flash a different kernel to my phone without any damage done? And I have been looking around for a good pretty solid rom to use and customize but I cannot make up my mind, any suggestion ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
You can use "sgs kernel flasher" from the market to flash a modded kernel, if you are stock froyo, that means it needs to be a froyo kernel, you don't want a yogurt-covered gingerbread brick lol. You can find kernels in the super thread in the Dev section.
Now as for the whole rom suggestion thing...you are friggin beating a dead horse, all your gonna get is a different answer from everyone...Jebus, just flash em all and find a favorite lol.

I flashed B2TB earlier today. I like it so far, except for the fact that only one theme is available. I want to use the stock theme, "disguise" b2tb is deodexed, but i have the .apk file and the .odex file for the theme. I also have terminal emulator and a root file browser. can anyone tell me the best way to install the theme i want?

well, developers should support their roms. if im looking for support for a rom that was released in this section, this is where i should look. sorry if your offended - oh wait, really im not.
i figured it out anyway. before flashing, i took a backup of my stock rom. i had my system partition set up exactly the way i wanted before the flash anyway, so i booted into cwm recovery and went to backup and restore>advanced restore, selected the backup of my previous rom, and selected restore system. i will be posting more details about this in the general section.
...so basically by restoring system, you just erased your custom ROM.
doesnt matter anymore. im not on b2tb anymore. im on kd1 firmware with the bali kernel, so i have voodoo and all that. care less about custom roms, just want voodoo. happy so far with kd1.

All of the ROMs I've used have been capable of, or came with voodoo...
Like... Glorious Overdose V2... Which is on KJ2...
Afaik- if you already have voodoo and the kernel/modem you want, you can switch ROMs (as long as they are on the same kernel/modem) and voodoo persists. In my experience this is how it's been.
